Face Value

First off, a very BIG HUGE ENORMOUS thank you to Elisa for helping me add a search box on my blog. Being Blog clueless, Elisa surprised me by installing a search box that she knew I wanted so badly. Thank you Thank you!

Readers can now have a much easier time searching for past articles by typing in the box. Whee!

Face

I'm not too sure about everyone but ever since young, I've always disliked my own face. rowing up, I still dislike it. If you ask me to describe my own face, it's pretty simple. It's as big as a dinner plate, with small ceaseless almond eyes, a small nose and a small mouth.

If you've read carefully, you've noticed by now that my features have one thing in common... and that is that they're all small. I remember going to facial one and the beautician laughed at me saying something like "Haha, all your features are so small..."

It made me even more self conscious after that. I know that I'm really not pretty and that there's probably nothing great about me. Hello! I own mirrors I can tell! It's not a case of low self esteem as I accept the way I am without wanting to change myself too much.

People tend to look at me and laugh at how small my eyes are. How they disappear whenever I laughed. I've grown to love my eyes more and to appreciate them more with words of encouragements from friends that my eyes are unique. It's thanks to words like that that I don't HATE my eyes.

If there's something that I really wanted to change would be to have fuller lips. To plump them up with collagen. Muahahhahaa!! I've always found Elisa's lips sexy and I've always wished that mine would even look half as good as hers.

But if there's something good/bad out of having such a face is that it's recognizable or so I'm told. Although I've always insisted that I have a face that looked like it came out of a China factory. Mass production! But through time, I'm surprised that people still remember me and all, it never occurred to me that people can easily remember my face, I used to think that they remember me for my bad attitude or how I've somewhat offended them in the past. LOL! I'm pretty sure some definitely remember me for the bad attitude part =_=;;
Trust me, it doesn't pay to be vocal. Take my word for it.

Another thing I've come to dislike my face is that I don't control my emotions well and my emotions are plastered all over my face. How I feel is shown as clearly as a 30 foot signboard on an empty field. I HATE that! I do admit that I'm someone easily annoyed but at the same time, I'm also someone who loves to crack jokes and laugh. But the first impression that people usually get of me is that I have something shoved up my ass and that I'm in a pissy mood when I'm not.
People are scared of me!! *gasp* How can they be when I'm actually so lovable? LOL! Kidding! People usually find me so intimidating that they don't dare to talk to me and say that I have an arrogant face. I'm really sorry that I'm born with such a face but because of the "hissy pissy face" people don't give me a chance to know me and but to the people that did gave me a chance, can tell you not to expect what you see the first time and that my personality is somewhat 360 degrees different from the first meeting with his "hissy pissy face".

It's really sad. Can I blame the shape of my eyes? When I daydream, Elisa tells me to stop it and that I look like I'm staring rudely at someone, when I'm wide awake, my boyfriend tells me that I look sleepy, when I look at people from the corner of my eyes, people think that I'm glaring at them. I'm SAD!!! It's the eyes, the eyes I'm telling yoouuu! It's all in the eyes! I'm actually very niceee~

Oh out of boredom;
French Manicure is actually so easy to do, all you need is

1. Basecoat (optional)
   
2. Base nail colour
3. White nail colour
4. Topcoat
   
5. Scotch tape @ sticky tape
   

It's so simple, I'm sure everyone on planet Earth and beyond knows how to do french manicure for themselves but I've always had difficulty painting the lines especially when I'm right handed and painting my right hand.

Now I've learnt a new inexpensive trick to it. Just paint on the base colour and paint on the topcoat (I use OPI Topcoat) then let it really dry for about a day before sticking the scotch tape @ sticky tape over and painting the white on, let it dry and apply top coat again. It's really so simple. No more losing your hair over how to get the bloody lines straight and nice.

The whole trick to this is the scotch tape. Forget the expensive so-called French Manicure strips (that are close to being useless, I would know, I bought them) that you can find at Watsons when you can use scotch tape for the same or better effect.

Or am I the only idiot that didn't know about this trick?

My nails are real!

Err.. okay so my lines weren't 100% straight but it's a improvement from before

I'm really not much into expensive nail colors but I got the OPI Topcoat which (I HIGHLY recommend to everyone) I ordered online from the online forum I usually frequent for RM38 I think. It's really one of the best Topcoats I've used and trust me, I've tried alot alot!
